My build. Not perfect. But I was so satisfied and proud of myself when I completed it considering I have never touched a computer component before. The cable manegement still bothers me but I didn't touch it since I know I'm never going to make it the way I picture it.

Welll well it was a historical moment. First step is always the hardest and I was hesitated to build it myself. Now I have an urge to build another one just for the smell of a new rig and I keep trying to find an excuse haha.
Actually it did take a long time. I completed it in 2 days (for the hardware part). Didn't rush. After I get back from work I work on it for an hour or so. Though it took longer than the average build, it went smoothly except for the video card. Had to fight with it a bit ....

Holy crap, where do you live? ;o By the Windows 7 box, somewhere in Africa/Middle East.

Also, looks like a build we would have told someone to build like 8~+ months ago. This new or just finally posting? ^_^

I built mine in ~2 hours because of over-excitement, pretty much rammed everything together and started yelling "CMON WORK WORK WORK" (it didn't obviously, RAM was loose :P)...and then I took it apart later because I didn't even know what cable management was until I had looked at some of the builds posted here >_>

Don't. An i5-2500K and P67 honestly is better for gaming and OC'd can certainly compare to even the higher end i7-9xx series CPUs, as crazy as it is. It is not cost efficient to buy an i7-9xx/x58 setup unless it's for nostalgia purposes, wanting a hard OC job, or you're just a mad-man like Cyanotical who does folding and fancy stuff. :P
